Academic Departments
BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT New programs and courses have been developed, and other courses have been modified by the faculty. Dr. McIlroy and Dr. Saidel will petition to incorporate their Special Topics course, Computers in Biology, into the regular departmental offerings. Dr Dighton initiated a Special Topics course this last Spring semester in Ecology of Soil Organisms which is also being considered for incorporation into the regular departmental offerings. Most of the course modifications revolve around the use of the Internet. Various faculty members routinely use the Internet to present review and new course information to their classes while others have made use of the Rutgers WebCT facility for the dissemination of information to their students. Dr. Evans has increased his on-line offerings of Facts of Life to include a Winterim course in addition to the summer course he routinely offers. The biology faculty persevere in their efforts to seek external funding for their research. This persistence has led to success in the face of strong competition. Dr. Martin expects to receive continued funding from NSF for his work on the action of thyroid hormone on the benzodiazepine receptor, and Dr. Shain is a participant in a funded NSF grant to examine biotic diversity in the Amazon basin. Dr. Lee continues to receive funding for his outreach program, entitled Bridges to a Baccalaureate Degree in Biology, from the NIH. The number of biology majors appears to be holding steady between 130 and 140, and there were 32 graduates from the two majors (Biology and Biomedical Technology) this year. Numerous students are involved in research projects with various faculty and a number of them presented their findings at the Annual Meeting of the New Jersey Academy of Sciences and at the campus Undergraduate Research Symposium. The departmental prizes this year went to Cheryl Starrett, who received the Rahman Prize, and Kristi Hohenstein and Stephanie Addison received the Weissman Prize. Kristi Hohenstein also distinguished herself by receiving a Dean's Undergraduate Research Award for her work on cloning the ATP synthetase gene from the ice worm Mesenchytaeus solifugus with Dr. Daniel Shain.

CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT
The Chemistry Department continued its course of excellence. Our majors continue to participate in refereed publications with the faculty. Members of the Chemistry Club organized and ran the eleventh Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium in which chemistry, biology, and physics majors give oral presentations of their research. The Symposium is open to all institutions in the Delaware Valley and gives students a rare opportunity for an oral presentation rather than the usual poster presentation. The Chemistry Department also affords local high school teachers the opportunity to do research with our faculty members. Last summer, six teachers participated through the Partners in Science program funded by the Dreyfus Foundation. Rutgers Camden joined Princeton, Columbia, and NYU in this program, serving the southern portion of NJ. Our faculty members continue their contributions to science. Georgia Arbuckle-Keil served as chair of the Philadelphia Section of the American Chemical Society. The ACS is the world's largest scientific society and the Philadelphia section is its fourth largest section. She and her students published a paper in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society, The Rutgers Scholar (http://rutgersscholar.rutgers.edu), and presented papers at seven regional and national meetings. Mary Craig is developing a course for the introduction of undergraduates into first year chemistry laboratories as assistants to the instructors. The undergraduates can develop skills in lab management as well as learning the curriculum. Nancy Hopkins has been on a one year leave funded by the Ford Foundation. She is pursuing her ideas on the application of Stark Spectroscopy to questions of protein biochemistry. Sidney Katz continued his internationally renowned research in Analytical Chemistry with trips to Slovenia and Italy. He and his students published their results in the Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry and at the 40th Eastern Analytical Symposium in Atlantic City. He also was asked to participate in the "Historical Developments in the Humane Care and Use of Research Animals" NIH International Workshop. Jing Li and her research group have published 16 refereed articles and participated in 12 worldwide symposia. They have also filed for patents on their discoveries of Hybrid material II-VI semi-conductors. Paul Maslen and HuaXian Fu of the Physics Department received a $250,000 grant from the National Science Foundation's AcademicResearch Infrastructure program. In a rare double-coup for an institution, Alex Roche was the principal investigator on Camden's other successful $250,000 NSF ARI grant, only two being allowed per institution. He was also a winner of the Provost's Award for Excellence in Teaching, published in the Journal of Organic Chemistry, presented at an international Fluorine Chemistry conference in England, and played and helped organize intramural football (soccer) teams which won both the Camden Campus Intramural Outdoor (Fall 2001) and Indoor (Spring 2002) Soccer championships. Luke Burke published two joint experimental-theoretical papers in the Journal of the Chemical Society with colleagues in Galway, Ireland. Over the summer, he was invited to Brussels to give a talk on "Quantum Chemistry, Past and Future" to a European private research organization. He was also honored by members of the Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory of his Alma Mater at the Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium. 2001 marks the 25th anniversary of the publication in the Journal of the American Chemical Society of his discovery of the mechanism of the "Pseudoelectrocyclic Reaction".

COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The Department of Computer Science is pleased to welcome a new faculty member, Dr. Patricia Johann, who will join the department as an assistant professor in September 2002. Dr. Johann received her Ph.D. from Wesleyan University and has previously taught at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. Her research expertise is the theory of programming languages - in particular, automated deduction, functional programming, and transformation-based program optimizations. She has published extensively in these areas and has received several research awards, including research grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Hughes Corporation and a research fellowship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The computer science faculty continues to be among the most research-active on the Camden campus, publishing a record number of papers in the top international conferences and journals in computer science. These include the ACM Symposium on the Theory of Computing (Kortsarz), the SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (Kortsarz, Ramaswami, Shende), Algorithmica (Kortsarz, Ramaswami, Shende), and Theoretical Computer Science (Birget, Hong, Kortsarz). Two papers of Dr. Jean-Camille Birget are also scheduled to appear in the highly prestigious Annals of Mathematics. Dr. Michael Palis served on the program committees of three international conferences on parallel and distributed computing (ICPP'02, PDCS'02, and I-SPAN'02) and was an invited speaker at I-SPAN'02. Dr. Jean-Camille Birget and Dr. Dawei Hong received a $22,600 ISATC Pilot Project Program grant for their project, "Password Security and Algorithms", which will focus on the development of innovative graphical password systems and generalized challenge-response password schemes. Dr. Suneeta Ramaswami received word in April that her $134,789 NSF proposal, "Geometric Techniques for Quadrilateral and Hexahedral Mesh Generation with Applications in Medical Imaging", ranked 5th among only 20 proposals (among hundreds submitted) that have been recommended for funding starting AY 2002. The department continues to expand various initiatives in support of the undergraduate computer science program. The internship program added twelve new partner organizations, including General Electric, Arthur Andersen LLP, Independence Blue Cross, and, closer to home, the Camden Online Poetry Project (COPP) of the Department of English. This brings the total number of partner organizations to 30 since the program's inception in September 1998. This past academic year, 17 students completed the internship program. The Rutgers-Unisys Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Project had a successful second year, with the completion of the third and final phase of the original project, SmartCard Technology for Windows PKI, by a team of undergraduate students. The department and Unisys have agreed to continue their partnership for a third year, with plans for several new projects for AY 2002 and a site visit to Unisys headquarters at Blue Bell, PA in October 2002 by a group of undergraduate students and faculty members. The NSF-funded Crimson Scholars Program awarded seven $3000 one-year scholarships to computer science and mathematics majors in AY 2001. Several additional scholarships (up to a total of 45) will be awarded in AY 2002 and beyond. Student involvement in faculty research projects continues to grow. Avery Keyes, an undergraduate student working under the supervision of Dr. Suneeta Ramaswami, successfully completed the departmental honors program with an original research thesis entitled "Development of a Ray Tracer through OpenGL". Another undergraduate student, Leonardo Sobrado, received a Rutgers Undergraduate Research Fellowship to conduct research on the design and management of human-friendly password schemes under the supervision of Dr. Jean-Camille Birget. Ten other undergraduate students carried out various independent study projects with the computer science faculty. Finally, the department is pleased to announce that Dr. Jean-Camille Birget has been reappointed as associate professor with tenure and will begin his three-year term as the new department chair starting July 2002. He is also the department's internship program director, a position he has held since January 2002. In addition, the Science Vision Laboratories (Scivis) has named Dr. Sunil Shende as its new director starting September 2002. Drs. Birget and Shende succeed Dr. Michael A. Palis, who has served as department chair since 1996, as internship program director since 1998, and as Scivis director since 1999.

ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT The Economics Department had 19 students receive BA degrees at the May 24, 2002 commencement, up one from the 2001 convocation. Thirteen economics majors and minors were inducted into the Lambda Chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon, the International Honor Society in Economics. One of these students, Victoria Makrishcheva has been accepted into the Ph.D. program at Temple University. She is doing an Internship with Merrill Lynch. Two others, Matilda Carrena and Jacqueline Rauch, who are entering their senior year, are also doing Internships this summer, Matilda on the economic infrastructure of Camden and Jacqueline on financial markets. Dr. Leslie Seplaki, Professor of Economics, assumed the Chairmanship of the department, effective July 1, 2002. Professor Seplaki, whose recent books have received high praise, is an experienced leader who has already served as the Department Chair. Dr. Baoline Chen was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure, effective July 1, 2002. Professor Chen spent the year on leave in Washington, D.C., at the Bureau of Economic Analysis. She will also be spending the 2002-2003 academic year at the Bureau where she will be working on, among other things, improving the time series forecasting of the Gross Domestic Product. Dr. Tetsuji Yamada saw his work appear in The Economics of Healthcare in Asian Pacific Countries, and in International Political Economy. He also has a piece forthcoming in The Quarterly of Social Security Research, and had another paper appear in the University of Tsukuba Discussion Paper Series. Professor Yamada, who is serving on a number of boards, also presented one of his papers at the University of York (UK). He continues to sponsor a number of independent studies in the department. Dr. JinPeng Ma completed his first year with tenure. He has been working on his research program in Game Theory and has a number of new papers ready to add to his impressive publication list. Dr. John Worrall, Professor of Economics, completes his term as Chair, effective June 30, 2002. Prof. Worrall wrote two auto insurance papers this year, one published by the Brookings Institution and another for the American Insurance Association. Both papers generated national interest with editorials and articles appearing in regional and national press (Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Inquirer, Star Ledger, Record. Home News, Courier-Post, etc.). He also wrote several op-ed pieces, and appeared on national and regional outlets (WOR, WCTC, NJ101, CN8, Boston Herald, etc.) discussing insurance issues. He won the Robert I. Mehr award of The American Risk and Insurance Association in August.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT This year has been one of continued growth and achievement for the Department of English. Fifty-five English majors received their B.A. degrees at Commencement this year, up by 13 from last year's total of 42 (an increase of 24%). Ten graduate students received their M.A. degrees in English, up from 9 last year. The number of undergraduate majors rose to 187 this year from 167 last year, and 19 additional students minored in one of the English programs. The number of graduate students increased from 65 to 73. The English Department has two new faculty members, Dr. Holly Blackford as Writing Director and Ms. Denise Gess as Visiting Instructor. In Fall 2001, the English faculty, full-time and part-time, taught 74 undergraduate and 12 graduate courses, which produced 2,058 undergraduate and 116 graduate registrations, a combined total of 2,174. In Spring 2002, the department taught 70 undergraduate courses and 11 graduate courses, accounting for 1725 undergraduate registrations and 113 graduate registrations for a combined total of 1,838. The English faculty generates these large numbers because English has the privilege, and the responsibility, of instructing every student in the college twice, first in English Composition I and II, and again in World Masterpieces I, the college's core Humanities course. The department's faculty members also teach the college's advanced writing courses, teach in the Honors College, administer the undergraduate and graduate Liberal Studies programs, and teach in the interdisciplinary programs. Next year will be the third in a row in which the president of the Faculty Senate has come from the English department faculty. Despite the instructional and service burdens it carries, the English faculty maintains an exceptional record of scholarship. New books included Tyler Hoffman's Robert Frost and the Politics of Poetry and Geoffrey Sill's The Cure of the Passions and the Origins of the English Novel. Dr. Sill also co-chaired the annual meeting of the East-Central American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, which was held in Cape May. Other English faculty members published articles in leading journals on such subjects as Aslam poetry, Bernhard Schlink's play The Reader, The Death and Resurrection of William Wordsworth, Nature's Voice in Early Modern Poetry, Joyce and Opera, and the uses of the definite article in English. J. T. Barbarese published nine poems in such journals as The Atlantic Monthly and The Sewanee Review, while Lisa Zeidner completed a screenplay of her novel Layover. Carol Singley won the Alumni Association's Outstanding Faculty Award, Tyler Hoffman won the Board of Trustees Research Fellowship for Scholarly Excellence, and William Lutz won the Clarity Award from the Pennsylvania Bar Association's Plain English Committee. Our students, too, distinguished themselves in the past year. Graduate students Elizabeth Mannion and Jung-kook Paik will continue their studies beyond the M.A. at Trinity College, Dublin, and the University of California at San Diego, respectively. Charlene Lawlor and Kara Monagle, who both interned in the Camden On-line Poetry Project sponsored by the Department of English, landed jobs as editors with Slack Medical Publications and the Institute for Physics Publishing. Susan Cheetham, Carol Connolly, and Tracy L. Moral took three of the six college-wide Dean's Undergraduate Research Awards for their research projects on Walt Whitman, Daniel Defoe, and Edith Wharton. In the days after the events of September 11, the English Students Organization, together with the American Studies program, sponsored a public reading of Poetry of War and Peace, which gave more than a dozen poets from both campus and community the chance to express their feelings about the threats of terrorism and war. Finally, this year's work has included laying the foundations for next year's accomplishments. We have begun to establish an advisory committee and a fundraising strategy for the Camden Writers' House, which will support our successful Spring and Summer Writers' Conferences and our Camden On-line Poetry Project, as well as serve other campus needs. We have created several new courses for our major, including Introduction to Literary Study, which won a Dialogues Grant this year. Next year the new major, with greater emphasis on the diversity of literatures in English, will become effective. The English department will play an important role in the implementation of a program funded by the Bildner Foundation to improve the writing curriculum, and will also figure significantly in the revision of the college's general curricular requirements. It promises to be an interesting year for the department.

DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS Roberta K. Tarbell, Assoc. Prof. of Art History and Director of Museum Studies, assumed for one year the leadership of this multi-disciplinary, complex, growing department which regularly organizes public venues for music, theater, art, and art history in addition to scheduling courses, and mentoring students in all of these areas of study. Faculty of electronic music and art, Assistant Prof. Liqin Tan, Instructor Joseph Schiavo, Visiting Assistant Professors Don Klinger and Sean Parks along with technical support staff and the department chair, worked to procure and install new electronic hardware and software for the five new classrooms on the first floor of the Fine Arts Building. These faculty and the new equipment renders our program one of the best in the nation. Martin Rosenberg, Head of the Department of Art and Design and Prof. of Art History at Southwest Missouri State University, will become the new Chairperson of the Fine Arts Department in the next academic year. Having earned his Ph.D. in Art History from the University of Pennsylvania, he considers his new position a homecoming. Studio Art, Electronic Art, Art History, and Museum Studies Programs For the first time, the introductory course of Museum Studies Program had enough students enrolled to allow it to be tought as a regular class instead of a tutorial. About half of these students have secured internships for the summer and/or fall. Because Rutgers-Camden is the only New Jersey or regional college offering an undergraduate program in this area of study, students enrolled represented many other campuses. Roberta K. Tarbell's research on early twentieth-century American modern art was published in Marguerite and William Zorach: Harmonies and Contrasts, a substantial catalog which accompanied an exhibition at the Portland (Maine) Museum of Art. She traveled as a consultant for ongoing projects at Brookgreen Sculpture Gardens (South Carolina), the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (Fort Worth, Texas), and Cornell University. Music, Musical Theater, and Theater Programs The success of Harvey Schmidt's and Tom Jones's musical 110 in the Shade, based on Nash's The Rainmaker, directed by Prof. Dillon, catalyzed a growth in the number of majors in the recently initiated Musical Theater program. This full-length musical, which had record audiences in the Gordon Theater in April, included choreography by a Bolshoi-trained dancer, Yuri Sergeyev, a live combo led by Pasquale Montenegro, and an exceptionally high level of vocal achievement under the direction of Prof. Dillon. For this, and all other theater productions, sets, lighting, and sound were designed by Jim Mobley, Technical Director of the Theater Program, working directly with students. Mr. Schiavo worked with the team developing the hardware and software for the new electronic classrooms and concentrated his efforts on building the Electronic Media program. Distinguished Prof. Julianne Baird's Madrigal Festival in November 2001, which attracted Madrigal singing ensembles from regional high schools, was very successful. During her sabbatical leave, in addition to her series of international performances, she was at work on The Songbooks of Jane Austen, which will be published by Oxford University Press. In three concerts in Philadelphia this year, Prof. Wilbert Jerome continued his direction of the Mozart Orchestra, now in its twenty-third year. To date, this chamber orchestra has performed more than 370 of the works Mozart composed. Professor Martin Dillon, in his role as Harry Truman, sang in Nightengale in New York in May. The Theater Program, in addition to the challenging musical production in the spring, produced two plays in the fall. For November performances, Larry Biren guest directed Arsenic and Old Lace in the black-box theater, a play which featured several of our most talented majors. Adjunct Ass't. Professor Nancy Ellis directed Jerry Patch's drama, Christmas Carol in the Gordon Theater to substantial holiday audiences and, during the spring term, initiated a new course in Children's Theater.

Jonathan Tittler, Chair This was the first year of a consolidated Department of Foreign Languages at Rutgers-Camden, the constituent elements of which previously existed as separate departments of French, German, Russian (which merged with German two years ago), and Spanish. This was also the first year for Dr. Tittler as Professor of Spanish and Chair of the department. Much of the fall semester was consequently spent, where colleagues are concerned, getting to know one another and getting used to thinking in terms of a department whose borders extend beyond the narrow boundaries of the traditional language-and-literature disciplines. A Dept. of Foreign Languages website was initiated; based on the former French and German/Russian websites, it is still under construction. There is also still much to do in terms of making more consistent regulations and requirements for the majors and minors offered across the department, but we have begun discussing such matters and have even started to organize department-wide activities on campus. The Department had a good year in terms of the three major areas of pursuit: teaching, scholarship, and service. In addition to teaching our own students, 41 of whom majored in one language or another, one faculty member taught in the Rutgers-New Brunswick German PhD program member (Christine Cosentino-Dougherty), two taught in the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program (Carol Avins and Louise Horowitz), two in the Honors College (Carol Avins and James Rushing), and one in the Freshman Seminar program (James Rushing). Likewise, Winterim, Summer School, and University College programs were amply supported by course offerings within the foreign languages. Dr. Dougherty participated in a team-taught course on German Expressionism with art historian, Roberta Tarbell. A number of our students were awarded high or highest honors (four in German, two in Spanish), won prizes or awards (Hollye Dybalski, a German major, won a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship), participated in the Rutgers University Study Abroad program (two in French), were appointed to an internship (Sophia Iwanaga, a French minor, assigned to the Historical parks system in Philadelphia), and were admitted to the newly established chapter of Phi Beta Kappa (9 in all). A kaffeklatch was held periodically in German, and a mid-day Spanish table was held almost daily during the spring semester under the direction of Mr. Senén Carlo. New recruits were sought among high school students by taking two of our majors to speak at Bishop Eustace Prep School in nearby Pennsauken. One of our long-time lecturers, Norman Ellman, was awarded a ten-year service medal at a ceremony in New Brunswick. Joint activities included a bi-weekly Foreign Language Film Series that was held during the spring semester. Each tenured member of the Department presented a film from his or her area of expertise (French, German, Russian, Spanish, and Spanish American culture), making introductory remarks prior to showing the film and then moderating a question-and-answer session afterwards. Other initiatives included research into creating a totally digital language laboratory (J. Tittler, in conjunction with Harold Winshel, Director of C.I.T., and supported by Edwin Fontanez, Language Lab Coordinator), research into setting up a series of proficiency tests for the purpose of placing entering students at an appropriate level of language instruction (Jonathan Tittler's responsibility), and adding to the Department's video film collection (a group effort). The Spanish section is also revising its entire set of course offerings and is surveying new elementary textbooks for possible adoption. The Department was authorized to carry out two tenure-track searches, one in French and another in Spanish. Only the French search proved to be fruitful, bringing an accomplished young academic in the person of Dr. Jean-Louis Hippolyte to campus next fall. In view of the vacant position left in Spanish, a Visiting Assistant Professor of Spanish, Dr. María Luisa Ortega, has been hired for 2002-03. Individual faculty accomplishments include the following: Carol Avins designed and taught a new course called "Literary Responses to the Holocaust," and taught it as an Honors Seminar in the College. She continued to work on a project with the working title of "Tradition and Transformation in the Prose of Isaac Babel." On the basis of that work, she has been asked to participate during 2002-03 in a weekly seminar on the history of the Jews in Eastern Europe at the Center for AdvancedJudaic Studies of the University of Pennsylvania. She participated in the Foreign Language Film Series, the Academic Advising Fair, and the hiring process mentioned above. Christine Cosentino-Dougherty shared in the editorship of two collections, had five articles accepted by refereed journals, had one review published, and gave two conference papers. She co-organized a conference at Carlisle College, served as a referee on five specialized journals, and participated on three committees (Special Committee on Ethical Misconduct, Teachers' Preparation Committee, and Ad Hoc Promotions Committees). She was a member of the Search Committee and participated in the Academic Advising Fair. Louise Horowitz published an article titled "Honoré d'Urfé: Bellwether Beginnings" in Foreign Language Studies and an entry on Madame de Sévigné in the Encyclopedia of Life Writing. She was a member of the Search Committee and participated in the Foreign Language Film Series and the Academic Advising Fair. James Rushing published a book-length translation and a chapter in an anthology, and gave a conference paper. He was appointed as a reviewer for the German Quarterly. He taught a Freshman Seminar section of German literature in English translation and directed two honors theses. He created and maintained the departmental website. He was a member of the Advisory Committee for the Freshman Seminar Program and continued to serve as an Adviser to Women's Studies. He was elected to and served on the College's Ad Hoc Committee on Curricular Reform, whose brief includes reconsidering the Foreign Language Requirement. He was actively involved in training language tutors and participated in the hiring process, the Foreign Language Film Series, and the Academic Advising Fair. Jonathan Tittler chaired the Department, the film series, and the hiring process. He published one plenary address in conference proceedings, one article in a refereed journal, one article in a collection of essays, and one book review. He also gave two conference papers, was appointed to the editorial boards of two journals, and was named Permanent Consultant of a professional society. He was actively involved in training language tutors and participated in the Academic Advising Fair.

HISTORY DEPARTMENT The year now being concluded has been a good one, marked by forward movement and by well deserved recognition on several fronts, for the Department as a whole, for individual members, and for our students. Our high point occurred in February, when the Department was visited by three outside evaluators, who were commissioned by the Administration to perform the first external review of us since the one that was conducted in 1990. Professors Joseph L. Arnold, Donna Gabaccia, and Howard Spodek gave us high marks, writing in their report, "The History Department at Rutgers-Camden does a remarkable job of coping with its several missions. It sets a high standard for faculty scholarship and evidences a deep commitment to quality instruction." We received this commendation despite the fact that we found ourselves in something of a state of upheaval as a result of personnel changes and faculty leaves. Dr. Rodney Carlisle, following a year of leave, retired in June after thirty-six years of distinguished service, over a dozen of them in administrative positions. Dr. Vickie Howard, who had served for two years as a postdoctoral fellow, also concluded her service here. Dr. Nicole Eustace, who had just joined the Department, accepted an offer from New York University. Meanwhile, Dr. Howard Gillette was on sabbatical as a result of a research grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, which will permit him to spend next year on leave as well, and Dr. Xiao-Bin Ji was serving as a visiting assistant professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Our faculty members continued to set high standards of achievement in our academic discipline, as published authors and as recipients of grants, fellowships, and professional awards. Dr. Laurie Bernstein's edition of Mary M. Leder, My Life in Stalinist Russia: An American Woman Looks Back was published by Indiana University Press, two collections of essays Dr. Philip Scranton edited were published, The Second Wave:Southern Industrialization, 1940-1970s; University of Georgia Press, and Food Nations: Selling Taste in Consumer Societies, Routledge, and my own Cities, Sin, and Social Reform in Imperial Germany was published by the University of Michigan Press. Dr. Carlisle saw three volumes appear in print, on subjects ranging from communism to atomic energy. Dr. Howard Gillette, who had organized and hosted a large conference of the Society for the History of American Regional Planning in Philadelphia in the fall, was a co-recipient of a NEH challenge grant of $378,900, designed to provide support for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Center for the Humanities, and I was awarded a Fulbright Lecturing/Research Award, for use in the spring of 2003 at the Humboldt University in Berlin. Dr. Bernstein also became president-elect of the Mid-Atlantic Slavic Conference. We continue to maintain a good rapport with a growing number of students. Last fall, we had over 130 majors (compared with 120 a year earlier), and we had close to forty graduate students (compared with 35 a year earlier), more of whom than ever before were studying with us full time. We continued to meet with our students informally in a variety of settings and to encourage them as best we can to take advantage of our readiness to offer them the advice we feel they need. Students flocked to our courses in record numbers, and one of our number, Dr. Allen Woll was a recipient of a Provost's Award for Teaching Excellence. One of our majors, Margaret Vitale, received a Dean's Award for her research, and another Hollye Dybalski, received a Rotary Fellowship for study in Germany. The Department continued to excell not only in the areas of historical research and the teaching of history but also in the area of campus and University service. We provided leadership and direction for the Honors College, Film Studies, Women's Studies, Afro-American Studies, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Center for the Humanities Center, and an emerging University-wide doctoral program in Technology, Environment, and Health. The Department thus continued to demonstrate, administratively as well as intellectually, the centrality of what it does to what matters most to Rutgers as a center of learning. I hasten to add, in conclusion, that we do not intend to rest on our laurels. While redoubling our efforts to write productively, to teach broadly, to reach out to our students invitingly, and to serve the College usefully, we intend to move vigorously during the coming year in the direction of recruiting new faculty-to replace Drs. Carlisle and Eustace-who can help us to expand our vision of what it means to practice the discipline of history creatively and comprehensively in the community and the world in which we live in the early twenty-first century.

MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT
The Undergraduate Mathematics Program continued to thrive during Academic Year 2001-2002. With our sustained increase in enrollment, we are now offering all but two of our upper-level undergraduate courses every year. This has alleviated the scheduling problems that our majors have often experienced in past years. The undergraduate program in Applied and Computational Mathematics has been completely revised. It now has a new Computer Science component, and enrollment in the program has more than doubled. Some ten of our students served as tutors in the Learning Resource Center during the year. The annual Math/Science/Technology Fair, which was organized this year by Josephine Johansen, allowed nearly two hundred students from four area high schools to enjoy demonstrations by roughly ten Rutgers faculty from the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Psychology as well as from the Robeson Library. Below is a smattering of recent news from our faculty.

NURSING DEPARTMENT
The Chairperson has just completed compilation of the data from the graduates' 2002 Program Evaluations. Responses to all aspects of the program were overwhelmingly favorable. The graduates Pinning Ceremony was held on Thursday evening, May 23rd at an off campus location, the night before Graduation. The department graduated 53 students, 35 generic and 18 advanced placement (RN) students. Eight percent of the graduates were male and 92% were female. Twenty-three percent of the graduates were minorities and 15 % already held baccalaureate degrees in other disciplines. Thirty-five RUCCAS nursing graduates will take the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX) this summer. Last year's (2001) passing rate for RUCCAS was 96%. The incoming junior class to the nursing major includes 41 generic and transfer students. The profile includes 83% females and 17% males. There are 71% Caucasians and 29% minorities, and 17% with baccalaureate degrees in other disciplines. Dr. Donna Callaghan was accepted as a participant in the prestigious "Research Training: Developing Nurse Scientists" program in July 2002. The program is sponsored by the National Institute of Nursing Research and will be presented in Bethesda, Maryland. Dr. William Puentes has been selected as one of twelve individuals to attend the Summer Scholars Program presented by the John A. Hartford Foundation Institute for Geriatric Nursing. The program will be offered in June at New York University. Four faculty have published in refereed and non-refereed journals this year; two have made national and regional presentations; and one obtained a small grant to support her research. Dr. Ashton received the "Research Nurse Excellence Award" from Cooper Hospital University Medical Center. In the service category, faculty continue to be involved in various community projects and initiatives. Dr. Ashton will again travel to Peru this summer as a team member of the Latin American Missions Campaign where she volunteers her services as an advanced practice nurse. Ms. Nanette Sulik continues to be active in promoting 'Parish Nursing' initiatives in the community. Dr. Greipp continues to serve as a site visitor for the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. This past year the Department of Nursing conducted a national search for three full-time faculty positions in various specialty areas. Dr. Mary Ellen Santucci and Ms. Nancy Cresse will teach in September in the area of Adult Health and Illness, and Dr. Kathleen Frame will teach in the Maternal-Child Health specialty. Dr. Kathleen Frame received a grant from Johnson & Johnson to do a feasibility study during the summer of 2002. She investigated the possibility of RUCCAS offering a school nurse certification program on the Camden campus.

PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION DEPARTMENT The department has continued its efforts at student development with considerable success. Enrollment in courses remains strong and the number of majors and minors remains stable, if not increasing. End of the year registration indicated 9 majors and 4 minors in the department. However, there are additional students who have indicated they will major or minor who have not yet made formal declarations with the registrar. We continued the new policy of having regular luncheons to meet with students to discuss current issues relevant to philosophy and religion. Such issues were not hard to find this year. In the fall departmental faculty discussed ethical and religious issues related to terrorism with students, and at our spring meeting the issue was sexuality and religion, with particular attention to the scandal in the Catholic Church. Department faculty discussed these issues in other forums as well. Stuart Charmé and John Wall were panelists in a campus-wide forum on the aftermath of 9-11. John Wall was also interviewed by a dozen radio and TV stations regarding 9-11. The Philosophy Club was particularly successful this year and student enthusiasm is high. The Philosophy Club held meetings with student attendance usually ranging between 20-25. A number of guest faculty speakers made presentations at these meetings, including those by John Wall and Stuart Charmé. We have developed an email list for students to encourage discussion outside of class contexts and to maintain better contact with students. Stuart Charmé has continued his advocacy for students at the college as a whole through the new Freshman Seminar Program of which he is director. In addition, Professors Charmé, Jarrett, and Wall all taught Freshman Seminars this year to support the program. Faculty in the department continue to be productive in scholarly areas as well. This year Charles Jarrett published two peer-reviewed articles on Spinoza. Cliff Brown is completing work on a volume of correspondence of Leibniz and discussing publication of a monograph on a 20th century philosopher with Princeton University Press. John Wall published two edited books and three peer-reviewed articles. He was also a consultant to the PBS documentary on marriage, which was aired this year. Stuart Charmé presented one conference paper, published one book review, and wrote and directed his first documentary film, which was premiered at the Center for Children and Childhood Studies. Professors Wall and Charmé both remain active in the Center, where their work has been discussed at monthly seminars. Finally, the recipient of the Stuckert Award in Philosophy this year was Hollye Dybalski, who was also president of the Philosophy Club. The department also established the Hugh White Memorial Award for Excellence in Religious Studies in honor of our colleague Hugh White, who died last summer. This prize was awarded for the first time this spring to MALS student Megan Fitzgerald.

PHYSICS
A new high-performance computer for the joint Chemistry-Physics Hybrid Materials Initiative was commissioned in late spring and has been put to work. This state of the art computer was obtained through a Major Research Initiative (MRI) grant. The Engineering Transfer Program has been expanded to include Biomedical Engineering, an area that has also been earmarked by the University for considerable further development. The department has established a local speaker's bureau for high school enrichment seminars; talks given during the past year included "Inside the Quantum World" and "Physical Considerations in Cell Division." A new physics minor program for Computer Science majors was launched in the fall. Thanks to support from a grant, a new optics lab has been equipped. This facility will serve as a laboratory for students interested in pursuing a specialty in optics, an area that offers significant employment opportunities at the physics baccalaureate degree level. One of our students, Joseph William, presented a paper "Electronic Structures of Silicon Quantum Wires" at the Rutgers University Symposium for Undergraduate Research. Junior Anita Ngatchou was named recipient of an American Physical Society "Corporate Sponsored Scholarship for Minority, Undergraduate Students Who Major in Physics" award. Anita was also chosen for participation in a biomedical summer undergraduate research experience at the State University of New York (SUNY) Buffalo this summer.

POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
The department experienced a huge increase in course enrollment during the past year, as well as the addition of about a dozen new majors. It was also greatly pleased with the report of the external evaluating team, which rated the department very positively. Political Science majors worked in many political campaigns this year, and also had internships with the International Visitors Council and with the offices of Senator Jon Corzine, Congressman Frank LoBiondo, Congressman Robert Andrews, State Senator John Adler, State Assembly member Louis Greenwald, and State Assembly member Mary Previte. Other internships were with NJ PIRG, the Federal Personnel Office, and the Federal Economic Development Administration. The coordinator of departmental internships is Russell Harrison. Student organizations, such as the Political Science Society, the International Relations Society, and the Pre-Law Society, had an active year. The International Relations Society sponsored three major events: a lecture by Colonel Richard Christie of NATO; a lecture by former US ambassador to the Vatican Thomas Melady; and a panel discussion about global perspectives on the war against terrorism at which the participants were Judith Klinghoffer, Shaheen Ayubi, and Simon Mortensen. We were happy to have Mr. Mortensen with us for the fall semester as a visiting doctoral scholar from Denmark. Also noteworthy was that Carolina Cabrera, recipient of the Weiner award for the best honors thesis, was selected as a member of the first Rutgers-Camden class inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. Our professors continued to receive excellent evaluations, and Sharon Gramby-Sobukwe received a Lindback award for minority faculty members. Also, Kim Shienbaum taught in the college honors program, Arthur Klinghoffer taught a freshman seminar, four members of the department (James Dunn, Russell Harrison, Richard Harris and Sharon Gramby-Sobukwe) offered courses in the Department of Public Policy and Administration, and Arthur Klinghoffer scheduled a seminar as part of the Africa Across the Curriculum program. Administratively, Arthur Klinghoffer served as department chair; James Dunn as chair of the Department of Public Policy and Administration; Richard Harris as director of the RAND Institute; Alan Tarr as director of the Center for State Constitutional Studies; and Russell Harrison as director of the Forum for Policy Research and Public Service. In terms of publications, the most significant were Kim Shienbaum's book on entrepreneurial capitalism, Alan Tarr's book on judicial process, and Arthur Klinghoffer's book (co-authored with Judith Klinghoffer) on international citizens' tribunals. Arthur Klinghoffer also made more than twenty-five media appearances in connection with the war on terrorism.

PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT As the accompanying list of scholarly accomplishments indicates, the members of the Psychology Department enjoyed a productive year in 2001-2002, highlighted by Daniel Hart's receipt of a $260,000 grant from the W.T. Grant foundation for his research on the "development of civic competence." Continuing the department's lengthy record of combining scholarship with service, Daniel Hart continued his work with the STARR program--Sports Teaching Adolescents Responsibility and Resiliency--and with Healthy Futures for Camden Youth, both of which he co-founded together with Dr. Robert Atkins, a faculty member in Temple University's nursing program. In addition Beth Adelson served on the Franklin Institute's Committee on Science and the Arts, nominating this year's recipient of the Institute's prize in Computer and Cognitive science. And for his outstanding work with the college's chapter of Psi Chi, psychology's national honor society, Luis Garcia received the society's Regional Faculty Adviser Award. The Department also continued to offer students unusual opportunities for involvement in both research and internships. Daniel Hart and Luis Garcia both have publications in-press co-authored by former students, and two of J. William Whitlow's conference papers also feature current majors as co-authors. Three of Prof. Whitlow's students also collaborated on a presentation at the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges Undergraduate Psychology Conference. Our new clinical psychologist, Naomi Marmorstein, supervised students in a variety of fieldwork placements, including a substance abuse center, a special education setting, and a hospital pediatric department. The department now has some 370 majors, the most in the college; in addition we offer service courses that are required of all students in a number of other majors, including business and nursing. To meet this demand we will be increasing in size in the near future. In the fall Charlotte Castro-Markey, a developmental psychologist specializing in the study of eating-related behaviors in children and adolescents, will join the department, and we will be conducting searches in 2002-2003 for two more tenure-track appointments.

PUBLIC POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION
In Memoriam Dr. Lambert Jackson, who taught undergraduate Urban Studies classes in addition to being the Director of the EOF program, died of a sudden heart attack in October 2001. When Urban Studies merged with Public Policy, Dr. Jackson became a member of the department's extended family. His loss is felt by all our members, most especially the Urban Studies faculty and students. Expanding Partnerships Our dual degree program with Political Science in which students can earn both their B.A. and M.P.A. degrees in five years is flourishing. Our J.D./M.P.A. dual degree program with the School of Law and our D.O./M.P.A. program with UMDNJ's School of Osteopathic Medecine are other examples of our recent efforts to foster partnership links. Faculty Service and Scholarship Dr. Michael Lang served as Director of Urban Studies. He received a $10,000 grant from the N.J. Department of Community Affairs and $5,000 from PNC Bank to fund the Community Scholars Internship program. He also coordinated the summer Housing Scholars internship program. Dr. Lang had an article published in Planning Perspectives. Dr. Sanjay Pandey served as the Director of the health policy and management track. He helped forge the memo of understanding with the UMDNJ School of Public Health and served on the two joint committees between Rutgers-Camden and the University of Medicine and Dentistry. In addition, Dr. Pandey had three articles accepted for publication in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Jainabah Kah served as Director of the international public service and development track and coordinated student recruitment and training with the U.S. Peace Corps and other development organizations. Dr. Sharon Granby-Sobukwe received a $12,000 grant from the Lindback Foundation to support her research on African American mega-churches and politics. Dr. Patrice Mareschal published a peer-reviewed article and also served as editor for a special symposium issue of the International Journal of Public Administration. Dr. James Garnett's book on Internships for Dummies was published in August 2001, and he also had an article on internships published in Public Management. Dr. Jon Van Til served as consulting editor and columnist with the The Nonprofit Times, and continues to contribute to scholarly journals in the field of nonprofit and voluntary action. Dr. James Dunn served as Department Chair, and also made invited plenary presentations at the Transportation Research Board's conference on transportation and economic development in Portland and the International Road Federation's World Congress in Paris. Students Three of our graduate students, Emilia Rastrick, Garret Sauve, and Christina del Castillo won nationally competitive Presidential Management Internships this year. Six other graduates also found positions with the federal government, seven were employed by local governments or non-profit organizations, and three went to work for state government. Kriston Mathews, a school teacher from Camden who received his degree in May, is the first of our graduates to use his degree to qualify for a N.J. principal's certification.

SOCIOLOGY, ANTHROPOLOGY, AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEPARTMENT The year was dominated by the implementation of the new Master of Arts in Criminal Justice program and by the hiring of three new faculty members who will expand the department from eight to eleven. Dr. Drew Humphries, ably assisted by Drs. Jon'a Meyer and Jane Siegel, worked hard to move the master's program successfully from approval to implementation. By May 2002, ten master's students had been admitted to the program for the fall. The total number of students is projected to grow by ten annually, up to a cap of fifty. The program, in conjunction in with the Department of Public Administration, emphasizes administrative and research skills. Dr. Humphries has developed important ties with the criminal justice community in Camden County by supervising community police training, a funded project, and by evaluating drug education in a local town. To support the expansion of the criminal justice program at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, two new faculty were hired: Dr. Gail Caputo (Ph.D. Rutgers University-Newark) and Dr. Michelle Meloy (Ph.D. University of Delaware). Both come with significant teaching, field, and research experience. A third new faculty member, Dr. Cati Coe (Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania), was hired to teach Sociology of Education and to be the main department liaison to the Teacher Preparation Program, as well as to support the sociology and anthropology program. With extensive research experience in both U.S. urban schools and in Ghana, Dr. Coe brings significant new expertise both to the department and to the TPP. A further important personnel development was the promotion with tenure of Dr. Jon'a Meyer to Associate Professor. All departmental faculty published articles in books and/or journals during the year, and several book projects are coming to fruition. Dr. Hazzard-Donald was on leave for the year finishing her pioneering book on "hoodoo" practices in the African American community. A majority of department members sat on editorial boards of refereed journals, and all continued to be active in professional associations. With the third in a series of Rutgers Dialogues Grants, the department continued to develop its "Web Enhanced Curriculum," a unique effort to ratchet web-enhancement up from the course to the curricular level. Surveys of students show significant knowledge and use of its resources, and the department's efforts received national attention when they were profiled in the February 2002 newsletter of the American Sociological Association. The department continued to exercise major instructional technology leadership on campus. Thirty-seven different course websites are accessible online. Faculty members continue to be major users of smart classrooms and experimenters with WebCT and other instructional tools. Dr. Wood was chosen to receive the "Outstanding Contributions to Instruction Award" at the American Sociological Association meetings in 2002, sponsored by the Sociology and Computers section. The Department continued to provide significant college and university leadership. Dr. Drew Humphries chaired the university-wide Research Council and Dr. Robert Wood co-chaired the Copyright Committee, which will bring to the university community a proposal for a new copyright policy in fall 2002. Dr. Ted Goertzel chaired the CCAS curricular reform committee, which will likewise be bringing to the college community a new proposal in the fall. Dr. Humphries chaired the FAS Appointments and Promotion Committee for Social Sciences. Departmental members Drs. Sheila Cosminksy and Ted Goertzel taught courses in the Masters in Liberal Studies and the new Freshman Seminar series respectively. The new requirements of the Teacher Preparation Program, implemented in fall 2001, led to explosive growth in the department's Sociology of Education course, which handled almost three hundred students during the year. Last but not least, Dr. Myra Bluebond-Langner continued to build the Center for Children and Childhood Studies with substantial new external funding and new programs (detailed elsewhere in this report). The Center has established itself as a significant presence on campus and in the region. In addition to the director, four of the Center's associates are from the department.
